Melissa, Steve and Braden

This shoot is from early December, and they were one brave family.
We started with a few indoors and then headed outside despite the -20C temperatures.

Catching Up

December has been a busy month for me, just as I imagine it has been for everyone else as well.
Between work and school, I was pretty tied up.

Needless to say I was very relieved when my husband and I had the chance to get away for a family gathering at my mom's house in Gibbons, AB. In fact, most of the members of her rather large family all gathered together from across Alberta and Saskatchewan. Only our contingency from Manitoba weren't able to make it for the holidays.
In all there was up to 20 people crowded into her little house for on Boxing Day. Things have just started to settle down now that everyone has gone home.
I get to stay down south a little longer as a friend of mine is having a New York-themed wedding on New Year's Eve in Edmonton. I'll get home just in time for my 30th birthday on Jan. 3.

All of that has left me with little time to update the blog, but I'm planning on getting some photos from some of the sessions I did during December up for everyone to see.

I'd just like to take a moment to thank all of my friends, family and clients who have helped make 2008 a great year. I enjoyed spending time with all of you and I look forward to a more wonderful year in 2009!

Ella

I met Ella's mom Liz earlier in the fall while at a shopping fair and we had planned to do a maternity session but even the best laid plans can go awry. Due to Kenny's work schedule we were never able to make it happen.

I was very happy though when she contacted me about doing newborn photos for this beautiful little giril.

Congratulations!

Addison & Family

It was a pleasure to spend time with some acquaintances on Saturday. Our former realtor, and a family friend, Kerry McPherson, had emailed me about coming to take photos of her granddaughter and family after finding out I did photography.


I had a great time with little Addison, who likes to scoot rather than walk and definitely has a lot of personality. She really doesn't like to be told what to do, but we worked with her independence.

Thanks for a great afternoon everyone!

Hunter

I did a maternity session with Felicia and John earlier in the fall, so I was very excited when she contacted me to do a newborn shoot once Hunter actually decided to make his appearance.

He's a a cutey and he's going to be a little heartbreaker when he grows up. I was also surprised to see how big their puppy Trigger is getting, he's all legs these days.
